There are several ways one may request funds from LVEF and other organizations.

LVEF Mini-Grants Program
Designed to provide small amounts of money (less than $500), the LVEF Mini-Grants Program provides funds for a specific and limited purpose that will benefit students of LVJUSD. All applications are assessed by their ability to provide enrichment in any and all areas of the curriculum and all grade levels for projects that would not normally be financed by district funds. Teachers, coaches, teams and student groups may apply. No parties or celebrations will be funded. Available funds at the time of application will impact the ability of LVEF to fund the grant.
